Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in sensitive awareness:

“The children of your chosen sister send their greetings.”
(2 John 1:13)

This sounds like an innocuous enough statement, Jesus.

But it isn’t.

When one Christian greets another – even secondhand, through another –

You are intimately involved.
There’s a recognition that we both belong to You.

Even though we may know nothing whatsoever about the other Christian

there’s an instant bond:

You indwell us both!

We cannot – dare not – treat one another as we do everyone else.

No matter how brief
this greeting matters

between two people destined to spend eternity
together.
